What is Pilates?
Pilates is a system of over 500 controlled exercises that engage the mind and condition the total body by using a popular exercise regimen that uses special stretches and machines. Named after Joseph Pilates, Pilates exercise system has proven itself invaluable not only to the fitness user, but to the professional trainers as well. Pilates, a technique of exercise and physical movement intended to stretch, strengthen, and balance the body.
With regular practice of specific exercises joined with focused breathing patterns. Pilates works several muscle groups simultaneously through smooth, continuous motion, with a particular concentration on strengthening and stabilising the core.
Pilates focuses on the quality of movement rather than quantity, which makes one feel refreshed rather than tired after a session. Pilates takes a balanced approach so that no muscle group is overworked and the body works efficiently.
With the aging of our people and the increasing trend toward mindful, moderate health practices, Pilates is more likely to find itself with a wait list at the YMCA, and in your local public schools, shaping the fitness ideals of our next generation.
Practiced loyally, Pilates yields many benefits such as:
·Increased lung capacity and circulation through deep breathing.
·Strength and flexibility, particularly of the abdomen and back muscles, coordination-both muscular
and mental, are key components in an effective Pilate's program.
·Posture, balance, and core strength are all heartily increased.
·Bone density and joint health improvements as you become more aware of your body. Pilates teaches balance and control of the body.
Pilate's equipment today is not much different than that of earlier days. Because of the nature of the equipment the inimitably designed pieces truly act as a complement to the challenging mat exercises.
Pilate Moves
The Hundred - This movement strengthens the torso by requiring the back muscles to work in synergy with the abdominal muscles.
Roll Up -This movement strengthens the abdominal muscles.
One-Leg Circle -This movement opens up the hip, increasing flexibility.
One-Leg Stretch -This movement strengthens the abdominal muscles with the opposition effect of keeping the back flat on the floor while changing legs.
Single Straight-Leg Stretch -This movement strengthens the abdominal muscles by the opposition of keeping the back flat on the floor while changing legs.
Key to remember is that you should consult a physician before starting any exercise programme. Always keep water close to you and drink before you get too thirsty.
